IURC APPROVES NORTH LAWRENCE WATER COMPANY RATE REQUEST

 

Today the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved a rate increase to pay for improvements by the North Lawrence Water Company.

 

In Cause No. 41933, the Commissioners agree that the planned improvements to the water supply system, the treatment system and the company’s distribution system are in the best interest of its customers, and granted a 40.87% rate increase.   The increase means that a customer who uses 5,000 gallons of water a month will see their bill increase from $29.05 a month to $40.92.

 

North Lawrence Water Company provides water service to approximately 4,618 members in rural areas and townships of North Lawrence County, Indiana.  The company’s existing rates and charges were approved December 28, 1989.
